Frequently Asked Question
1) Get your Authorize Gateway ID and activation code from your credit card processor. Log in to Authorize.net and activate. If you have any problem at all, their support is wonderful. Just call them and they’ll step you through it.
2) Remember to only take the basic $10/mo. service. You don't need Automated Recurring Billing (ARB), Advanced Fraud Detection Suite (AFDS) or Customer Information Manager (CIM). ARB happens through DeskWorks, we’re secure-they’re secure so you don’t need AFDS, and CIM is through DeskWorks/Spreedly.
